European University Diploma in Translational and Clinical Research in Oncology

Gustave Roussy has set up a European University Diploma in Translational and Clinical Research in Oncology (DUERTECC program). The program offers foreign students a year of immersion in the structure, thus allowing better integration and the initiation of projects. Prism is offering several DUERTECC scholarships every year.

University diplomas

Paris-Saclay University and Prism have set up two university diplomas.

University Diploma in precision medicine;

This teaching provides the biological and medical bases necessary for the implementation of molecular medicine in oncology, including the immune dimension in the personalized management of cancer. The objective is not only to improve the practice of care through training, but to train experts involved in research who can advance precision medicine in oncology.

→ Information & registration.

University Diploma in Mathematical oncology ;

This new one-year program is aiming at providing the biological and medical bases to engineers and mathematicians as well as providing the bases in mats to biologists and clinicians.

The course will open october 2024.

International Prism Conferences

Through its partners, Prism organizes annual conferences/workshops.

Through Unicancer, Prism is one of the founders of an international conference on precision cancer medicine and translational research (MAP). Prism is supporting 10 to 15 travel grants to attend this event.

Finally, Prism organizes an annual conference in Paris for the commitment of health actors. This meeting is an opportunity to discuss levels of evidence, barriers, regulatory and reimbursement pathways and, in general, topics related to the implementation of precision medicine.
